LAO
PDR.
P
R E D I C T I O N...
Lao
has one of the traditional musical instruments named  the
Khene. It's one of the great cultures that still exist
until now. Khene can be played solo as in traditional
Lao music or in combination with other musical instruments
to accompany modern songs. And it also played around the
world although it has probably lost some of its impact.
Maybe
this is the reason that this traditional culture can be
played until now. It's one proof that Lao has a flexible
culture that can collaborate with another culture even
though it lost some of its impact. Hope that in 10 years
later this world can hear the unique sound of the Khene
combined with modern songs.
